44BEATZCAST 20:11
44BEATZCAST 20:11 spans funk, soul, house, techno, breakbeat and trance over 118 minutes. It opens with Charles Bradley’s heartfelt “Confusion (feat. Menahan Street Band)” and glides through George Fitzgerald’s melodic house on “The Let Down” and Heiko Laux’s moody techno in “Souldancer Part 3”. Legends such as Carl Cox (“Chemistry (Reso Remix)”), The Prodigy (“Climbatize”), Leftfield (“Phat Planet”), Underworld (“Beautiful Burnout (Mark Knight remix)”) and Faithless (“Take The Long Way Home”) share the bill with underground innovators for a timeless yet forward-thinking set.
The mix launches with Charles Bradley’s deep soul on “Confusion (feat. Menahan Street Band)”, then flows into George Fitzgerald’s wistful “The Let Down” and Heiko Laux’s hypnotic “Souldancer Part 3”. An activist edge arrives via Indigenous Resistance’s “Krikati (People Power Direct Action Mix)” and Jay Hill’s poetic “Evolution Party (feat. Ursula Rucker)”.
Techno grit takes hold as Scuba’s “This Is For You (Luke Slater Short Version)” and Underground Resistance’s militant “Final Frontier” lead into Basic Channel’s stripped-back “Q1.2” and Carl Cox’s driving “Chemistry (Reso Remix)”.
Breakbeat and electro collide in Harry Lemon’s “Demon Disco” and The Prodigy’s “Climbatize”, with Single Jammin’s slick “Moving Differently” segueing into TORB’s glitchy twin assaults “Beta Tester” and “Dans Le Club”.
A shift to acid comes with Das SPEZIAL’s twisted “Romantic Schizophranic” and EP Dahu’s propulsive “Cataphract”. Two Lone Swordsmen’s austere “Death to All Culture Snitches” strips everything back before Tomcraft’s kinetic “Look Around” and Dave Clarke’s relentless “The Wiggle” ignite the floor.
House flavours return in Designer Tech’s “Get Ready” and BAILEY & CARLOS FAUVRELLE’s raw “Bring It On (Stripped mix)”, building into Leftfield’s thunderous “Phat Planet”, the euphoric surge of The Organism & Moscoman’s “Rite (Extended Mix)” and the subterranean pulse of Citizens Of The Empire’s “Underground (Refracture Remix)”.
Underworld’s “Beautiful Burnout (Mark Knight remix)” offers a shimmering reprieve before Laurent Garnier’s “ENCHANTé (UNER Club Gleam Remix)” rekindles energy. DJ Hell’s anarchic “Out of Control”, Donovans’ scratched “Yo ! (Dinamics Scratched Remix)” and Awanto 3’s dreamy “Applecake” guide us into reflection, as Faithless’s closing “Take The Long Way Home” leaves a lingering sense of catharsis.
